There were many rounds, about 4 in total, involving meetings with various directors and the group director. It's good to show you're interested in doing public good for the masses. Try not to interview in December because the bosses won't be in the country. The whole interview period is quite long, taking almost 4-5 months.

The interviewers were unprofessional, rude, and arrogant, suggesting a toxic workplace. It might be best to reject any offer, even if extended. Don't invest too much effort in this interview. The good news is that the interviewers, being mostly senior staff, were very direct. After the interview, it's highly recommended to ask for feedback, which can help you improve for more promising opportunities.
